False Claims Act (Qui Tam/Whistleblower)

Under the False Claims Act and similar state laws, a private citizen has the right to file a lawsuit on behalf of the government against anyone that defrauds the government. This type of action is often referred to as a qui tam, relator, or "whistleblower" lawsuit. If the lawsuit is successful, then the private citizen may receive compensation from the government's recovery (ranging from 15 to 30 percent) for providing information about the fraudulent conduct. Federal and state laws also protect employees who report fraudulent activity from retaliation by their employers.
